Van Isle Barge Services Articulating Tug and Barges (ATB) vessels transit further up the Fraser River than
any other daily shipping service linking Vancouver Island with the logistics
providers in the Lower Mainland. Our Surrey terminal is much closer to Industrial
Regions and the Trans Canada Highway, saving most trucking companies
approximately 1/2 hour of travel
time on each trip.
The sailing route from Surrey to Duke Point is a 48 nautical mile
crossing, navigating about 15 nautical miles through the Fraser
River waterway and out into the Strait of Georgia. The average
transit time for the westbound voyage is scheduled for 4 hours and 45 minutes with
the return eastbound trip about 5 hours and 15 minutes.
Our convenient schedule has been established for freight to arrive in
the prime early hours of each morning at Duke Point and then return to
Surrey in-time for daytime deliveries through out the lower
mainland.

Sailing Advisories:
As a "freight only"
service, maintaining on-time departures is our priority! For
processing traffic we ask that the freight arrives at our
terminals 15
minutes prior to the scheduled departure.
In the case Environment Canada issues a weather warning and/or there are other scheduling
difficulties, before the loading of vehicles resumes,
Van Isle Barge Services will issue a SERVICE NOTICE to shippers by email distribution.
